Free jazz. Another great session from multi-instrumentalist Fasteau (saxes, flutes, piano, drums) teaming up again with New Orleans great Edward "Kidd" Jordan on sax. Newman Taylor Baker percussion. Lots of electronics enhancement -- basic stuff like stretching out tones, echoing things, altering Fasteau's voice down a register or two.

Live set; applause ends each track.

1- Fast attack, nice. w/band intro at top.
2- Jaunty avant-garde piano, with some direct playing of the stirngs. Later, bold and heavy jam.
3- Fast yet placid: Echoed flute and calm talking drum
4- Cello! Spritely squeals and skronks w/sax. Crazy and high-pitched at times. Into a free-jazz romp with a nice big sound. Cool pizzacatto cello near the end.
5- Harp sounds (synth), building ocean waves with soaring sax. Band intro at the end.
6- Electronics-enhanced babble of voice and sax, a crazed hypnotic state
7- Crazy, squeaky, echoey. Fast/
8- Two drum-kit tumult; fast and bright, aggressive. Yeah!
9- Twining reeds in Middle-Eastern motifs. Mid/fast.
